Hello there. This is BBC News.

:00:15.:00:16.

We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment,

:00:17.:00:19.

says now is not the time for a leadership contest,

:00:20.:00:27.

but warns the party must do better at winning over voters.

:00:28.:00:34.

that he will not be attending the White House Correspondents

:00:35.:00:38.

A man has died and two other people injured

:00:39.:00:47.

after a man drove a car into pedestrians

:00:48.:00:49.

Three men have appeared in court on slavery charges

:00:50.:00:53.

after the discovery of a cannabis factory

:00:54.:00:55.

at a disused nuclear bunker in Wiltshire.

:00:56.:01:01.

And coming up at 10.45pm, a round-up of this week's

:01:02.:01:03.

best stories from across the globe in Reporters.

:01:04.:01:24.

So welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:01:25.:01:27.

the Political Editor of the Sunday Express,

:01:28.:01:32.

and Anne Ashworth, Assistant Editor at the Times.

:01:33.:01:36.

The Sunday Telegraph has an interview with

:01:37.:01:42.

the new independent reviewer of terrorism legislation,

:01:43.:01:43.

Max Hill who warns that the threat of terror attacks is at its highest

:01:44.:01:47.

Not so many newspapers are in just yet. These are the ones we have.

:01:48.:01:53.

Changes to visa regulations for migrants is the lead

:01:54.:01:55.

The paper says plans include limiting access to benefits

:01:56.:01:58.

The Sunday Express has more details about the man

:01:59.:02:04.

who murdered the children's author Helen Bailey.

:02:05.:02:13.

Let us begin with the Sunday Telegraph, interesting story about

:02:14.:02:20.

the Lords, really, and the "Brexit" Bill, saying the peers are uniting

:02:21.:02:27.

to soft "Brexit", to soften "Brexit", Theresa May may not like

:02:28.:02:32.

this. McIlroy she was hanging over their shoulders, imploring them to

:02:33.:02:37.

do the right thing, and available of the people. Unlike in the House of

:02:38.:02:44.

Commons, where there were not any amendments put forward to the bill,

:02:45.:02:48.

and it passed through the House of Commons, now there will be

:02:49.:02:50.

opportunities for peers to put down amendments and in fact they have,

:02:51.:02:54.

many of them, but the ones gaining the most support include one which

:02:55.:03:01.

promises to guarantee rights of EU citizens already living here, and

:03:02.:03:04.

also one which would give everyone in Parliament an opportunity to sort

:03:05.:03:10.

of vote on the final deal when it is done. And it's interesting because

:03:11.:03:13.

if you think about the composition of the House of Lords, they don't

:03:14.:03:18.

have the same issue of patronage that they do in the House of

:03:19.:03:21.

Commons, in that sense they are a lot more free to vote with their

:03:22.:03:26.

conscience. Indeed, many of them are now telling the Sunday Telegraph

:03:27.:03:31.

that they are going to put forward these amendments and vote for them,

:03:32.:03:34.

and that they are saying, basically, they feel this is such a big issue,

:03:35.:03:39.

that the timetable is too short for them to look at the issue and they

:03:40.:03:42.

want to be given the opportunity to make amendments and do the job they

:03:43.:03:47.

are there for. Some people have said, the British people voted on

:03:48.:03:51.

this, the House of Commons pushed this bill through without amendment,

:03:52.:03:55.

without change, how can it be that the unelected Lords should amend it?

:03:56.:04:00.

This is why there is going to be so much fuss about the intervention of

:04:01.:04:06.

the Lords into this. I think we are going to have a very exciting

:04:07.:04:10.

political battle. These people have little to lose, they can be the

:04:11.:04:16.

awkward squad, in this age of protest, that is the role that they

:04:17.:04:20.

can fulfil. I think there are a great many people who would have

:04:21.:04:25.

supported Brexit, but not necessarily hard Brexit, and those

:04:26.:04:31.

people want to see it done on terms. How we do this, how we except the EU

:04:32.:04:35.

will determine our political and economic life and it needs to be

:04:36.:04:39.

done carefully. Some of the issues that maybe we should have a second

:04:40.:04:45.

look at the final deal, before we sign, or whatever it is, to exit, is

:04:46.:04:51.

maybe they think that even some people who voted for Brexit will

:04:52.:04:55.

support. Gina Miller, businesswoman who brought the legal case that I

:04:56.:05:02.

was following at the Supreme Court, that ended with all of this being

:05:03.:05:07.

debated in parliament, she has said the Lords need to show some backbone

:05:08.:05:12.

on the "Brexit" Bill. In a sense you would expect this, she led the

:05:13.:05:16.

battle, as it were, through the courts, to make sure Parliament got

:05:17.:05:19.

a say on whether or not we trigger Article 50. That is now what the

:05:20.:05:24.

bill is going to be. Going through the Lords. In this piece to the

:05:25.:05:29.

Independent, she is imploring the Lords to do what she considers is

:05:30.:05:33.

their role, they are there as a revising chamber, as a scrutinising

:05:34.:05:38.

chamber, she is saying, basically the Prime Minister is being a bully,

:05:39.:05:42.

she is using the idea that she turned up, it is unusual for a Prime

:05:43.:05:46.

Minister to turn up at the House of Lords under those circumstances, you

:05:47.:05:50.

need to show your muscle now, if you are not happy with aspects of the

:05:51.:05:56.

bill, vote for the amendments. She is a bit survey heroine, Julia

:05:57.:06:03.

Miller, on investment charges, she did some good work into that, and

:06:04.:06:08.

there is the for her but this will be a massive battle, this is going

:06:09.:06:13.

to keep us going throughout March, April May, and beyond. Gina Miller,

:06:14.:06:19.

in the independent front page, you admire her, as the woman who brought

:06:20.:06:23.

this case, she came in for a lot of stick from certain quarters? She has

:06:24.:06:29.

had a lot of stick, a lot of people will say into response what she did,

:06:30.:06:33.

the public had their say, they were very clear, they voted for "Brexit"

:06:34.:06:38.

and the idea that it has to be brought back before Parliament is

:06:39.:06:43.

kind of unnecessary, because it is almost a hurdle that is not

:06:44.:06:46.

warranted, given that people had their direct say. Yes, she is

:06:47.:06:51.

clearly standing up for principles she thinks are very important, she

:06:52.:06:55.

thinks that this is something that she must do, and the fact she went

:06:56.:07:00.

to such lengths to do it, whether you are on either side of the

:07:01.:07:02.

"Brexit" fans, you have got to admire her for doing it, it has not

:07:03.:07:07.

been an easy thing to do, I am sure that she has suffered. She has faced

:07:08.:07:11.

down the most extraordinary social media torrent... Death threats, in

:07:12.:07:18.

fact. She cannot go safely to a public place, she has been told,

:07:19.:07:24.

that shows the depth of emotion. Nigel Farage, on the opposite side

:07:25.:07:28.

of the fence, he says the same thing, he says he is vilified in the

:07:29.:07:33.

same way she has been. Cannot go out of the house for fear of the liberal

:07:34.:07:38.

press, that is the phrase! Still on the "Brexit" story, Tim Shipman,

:07:39.:07:44.

political editor, here, talking about there is going to be a Visa

:07:45.:07:49.

revolution for foreign workers, that is his angle on at. Yes, migration

:07:50.:07:54.

is never far away from agenda when we talk about "Brexit", lots of

:07:55.:07:58.

people say that was the main people Racing people were rejecting when

:07:59.:08:03.

they voted for "Brexit", that they wanted to have control on who comes

:08:04.:08:07.

into the country. Of course this week we saw David Davis admitting

:08:08.:08:11.

that it was going to take some time for us to bring down the level of

:08:12.:08:15.

migration that we already have. This is suggesting that it will be sector

:08:16.:08:20.

by sector arrangements for migration which is something we have heard

:08:21.:08:24.

before. But there will also be new arrangements in terms of benefits

:08:25.:08:28.

and restricting benefits for new arrivals. This was also something

:08:29.:08:32.

David Cameron had started prior to the referendum. The most interesting

:08:33.:08:36.

bit of this article is actually about what we do with the people

:08:37.:08:40.

that are already here, the people that have come here from Europe,

:08:41.:08:44.

living here, settled here, working, and what it is suggesting is that

:08:45.:08:48.

actually, there will be a cut-off date, and many people thought it

:08:49.:08:52.

might have been June 23, it seems that the lawyers have suggested this

:08:53.:08:57.

is not lawful, and actually, the date that we trigger Article 50,

:08:58.:09:00.

which Tim Shipman seems to think will be March 15, that is on the

:09:01.:09:10.

cards. Not far away. That will be the day, after that point, people

:09:11.:09:13.

who come in will not have their rights guaranteed. It is very

:09:14.:09:18.

interesting, how the rights of migrants and who can stay and who

:09:19.:09:21.

cannot, and who can stay in the future, is going up the agenda, the

:09:22.:09:25.

trade deals have suddenly been shoved into the background, and

:09:26.:09:28.

there is a kind of consternation as to wondering how we will do with all

:09:29.:09:35.

these workers... How will we get on without them? A few of the other

:09:36.:09:40.

stories? The Sunday Times have the Labour Party and the fallout from

:09:41.:09:44.

the Labour Party by-elections, the deputy leader, Tom Watson, saying

:09:45.:09:48.

that they risk their wipe-out in England as they had in Scotland and

:09:49.:09:52.

is they take a long hard look at the way that they have alienated

:09:53.:09:56.

traditional supporters of the party. What will they actually do about it,

:09:57.:09:59.

and awful lot of public hand-wringing on the part of the

:10:00.:10:02.

Labour Party members but they do not seem to be able to get rid of Jeremy

:10:03.:10:07.

Corbyn. I would love to know what Tom Watson has privately told Jeremy

:10:08.:10:11.

Corbyn about, time for you to go, or has he? The Labour moderates, when

:10:12.:10:15.

you speak with them, you ask if there is a plan, and they look at

:10:16.:10:20.

you like mournfully and say, there simply is not a plan. From Labour to

:10:21.:10:25.

Ukip, and we have the express, who say that, the Sunday Express, they

:10:26.:10:33.

say Nigel and I, Nigel Farage and Arron Banks, are fed up with

:10:34.:10:37.

Ukip...? This is one of my stories... Yes, yes it is! I hadn't

:10:38.:10:43.

spotted that! What a brilliant story! Sunday Express! Had a chat

:10:44.:10:50.

with errant banks, in the wake of the Stoke by-election, -- Arron

:10:51.:10:53.

Banks, Paul Nuttall, leader of the party, unsuccessful in his attempts

:10:54.:11:00.

to be elected as the party's second MP, he says he will quit and take

:11:01.:11:04.

his minions and not be part of Ukip unless they let him become chairman

:11:05.:11:07.

of the party so that they can professionalise and modernise the

:11:08.:11:11.

party and move forward with it. He has a bit of a beef with Douglas

:11:12.:11:15.

Carswell, as we have known for a long time, and this issue that aired

:11:16.:11:19.

on question Time about whether or not Douglas Carswell indeed blocks

:11:20.:11:23.

Nigel Farage's knighthood, has reared its ugly head again, and

:11:24.:11:28.

Arron Banks told me that if he becomes chairman, then his first act

:11:29.:11:35.

will be to expel Douglas Carswell. It's all bitter infighting again.

:11:36.:11:39.

Certainly is. Sunday Telegraph, they have written's new terror chief...

:11:40.:11:45.

Max Hill, talking about Islamic State and the threat of terror being

:11:46.:11:50.

the worst for a generation, his first interview since being

:11:51.:11:57.

appointed. The independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, the man

:11:58.:12:01.

who looks essentially to see whether the people who are keeping us safe

:12:02.:12:05.

will be able to do this, and he is talking about a level of terror

:12:06.:12:13.

threat akin to that in the 1970s, 1974, at the height of the IRA

:12:14.:12:19.

bombing. Maybe this is maybe not a surprise to some people but it is a

:12:20.:12:23.

rather sobering report on just the level of threat from Isis, and also,

:12:24.:12:30.

the age at which people are becoming radicalised, the age of 14, people

:12:31.:12:36.

are watching Isil videos and signing up, trying to leave Britain... To

:12:37.:12:44.

join up... Terrorism has been on the agenda, the story about the man who

:12:45.:12:48.

came back from Guantanamo Bay, living here for ten years, and then

:12:49.:12:53.

escaped to Syria and was blown up in a suicide bomb attack in Iraq. The

:12:54.:12:57.

thing I would like to know from him, because it crossed my mind, what is

:12:58.:13:03.

going to do in terms of the surveillance powers of these people

:13:04.:13:07.

slipping in and out of the country. Very quick, last look at the

:13:08.:13:11.

Telegraph, Emma Stone, picture of her, just ahead of the Oscars, hot

:13:12.:13:16.

favourite to be best actress. La La Land. You saw it and did not like

:13:17.:13:21.

it? I am that person who did not like it, Hollywood did because it is

:13:22.:13:29.

a love song to Hollywood, to how beautiful California is...

:13:30.:13:30.

Everything that Hollywood stands for. So one would imagine that it

:13:31.:13:36.

would do incredibly well, but it would not get my vote, maybe I am

:13:37.:13:43.

just not enough of a romantic. Caroline, great filmgoer? I wish I

:13:44.:13:47.

could be but having three children, this is my idea of a great night

:13:48.:13:50.

out! LAUGHTER The papers, better than the movies,

:13:51.:13:55.

perhaps we can get an Oscar! LAUGHTER

:13:56.:14:04.

We will be back at 11:30pm, for another look at the stories making

:14:05.:14:10.

the news. Coming up next on the BBC news channel, it is Reporters.
